Now available: Port Throughput Indices

Our Container Port Throughput Indices provide a series of volume growth/decline indices based on monthly throughput data for a sample of over 220 ports worldwide, representing over 75% of global volumes.

The global Ports and Terminals team provide strategic, commercial and technical advisory services. Our rich industry knowledge and expertise is complemented by the practical, hands-on experience of our advisors.

For every project we take care to craft a bespoke package that focuses on your core objectives and commercial needs whilst answering the fundamental project-specific questions you may have.

Whether commissioning our commercial advisory team to provide strategic analysis, commercial due diligence or market analysis, you can rely on our independence and rigour to provide sound professional advice. We can provide an in-depth assessment of the characteristics, dynamics and trends of the port market, conduct customer analysis or evaluate the port competitive environment to help you overcome challenges or realise asset opportunities. Given the breadth and depth of experience across the team, we are well placed to support both strategic goal setting and business planning processes.

Drawing on our extensive in-house databases we can help you assess the impact of liner network strategy, vessel upsizing and the development of key trade lanes within the ports and terminal sector.

Our approach to financial modelling and forecasting utilises our rich market intelligence and analysis, producing models that reflect the unique competitive environment in which your asset resides. The advisory team can provide volume, revenue, B/S, P&L, cash flow forecasts and asset valuations. This work can also support investment and divestment appraisals, where can advise on market entry strategies and financial return projections.

Our in-house technical experts, who are port engineers, are also able to support feasibility and pre-feasibility studies as well as offer technical due diligence and asset risk services. This combination of technical and commercial expertise ensures a consistent and co-ordinated approach, whilst providing an independent view of the asset infrastructure, key material risk and capacity expansion plans.
